and now residing in Augusta, Georg a.
The poet was professor of English
literature and the classics in Poydras Co.
lege, at Pointe Coupee, on the Fausee
Riviere, in Louisiana, about seven miles
from the Mississippi; and there in April,
1861, he read in the New Orleans Delta

Baltimore.

Wnter for Animals.

All animals should be provided with
pure water, and with none is it more
necessary than with milch cows. Serious
results have been known to follow the use
of impure or stagnant water. 1t is not
every farm that has natural and unfail-
ing supply of water, although many have
condition that should be observed in the
purchase of farm, as it is one of the
most valuable considerations that can be
named. A never-failing spring of
abundant supply cannot be too highly
priced; it costs nothing for repairs and
is always in good working order; but
such blessings are not shared by ALL and
hence arises the necessity for providing
some artificial means of supply. Wells
with pumps will answer all demands upon
farms with small number of animals,
but upon farms where they are numbered
by scores pumping water from well
by hand would be both laborious and
expensive. In such cases there would
probably be no better mode of supply
than by wind power, which when
adopted should be so situated that the
power could be utilized for other pur,
poses npon the farm. OF course this is
an expensive method of procuring water
but under some conditions becomes {
necessity. In district with an undulat
ing surface reservoirs can be formed
whereby the surplus of water in autumn
and winter can be stored for summe
use, and may serve satisfactory. UpoI
some farms there are springs, which
if utilized properly, by conducting tn
water into troughs, would be ampl
sufficient, but left to themselves are in
sufficient to do more than make mas
of mud where the cattle tread con
tinually TO slake their thirst. Quite
small spring run into some troughs c
tubs win furnish an abundant supply

Persian DerVishes,

OF those fanatics, who are known as
"howling dervishes,n Persia is notice
ably free, writes Wolf Won Schierbrand,
in the New York Commercial AdUertiser.
The Persian character extant is light,
airy and inclined to make the best
of everything, and is not adapted to
the development of these gloomy
zealists. Those ones does meet at rare
intervals are invariably Turks or Arabs.
Generally speaking, the dervishes have
an easy, lazy time of it in Persia. Like
all Moslems, the people there stretch the
word charity TO its utmost tension, and
in making aims they do not for moment
inquire as to whether their gift has been
worthily bestowed or not. The fact that
in an impoverished country, large but
thickly populated, so many thousands Of
sturdy beggars-and all dervishes are that
are a constant and ruinous drain on
the working population and help to make
the nation poorer and poorer, has prob
ably never caused any Persian a
moments reflection. No dervish helps
to till the soil or do anything else useful,
and their number is supposed to be al
least 100, 600 in Persia. 1t is like large
army of poorly clad but wcll-fed soldiers,
forming forever big item in the national
budget-if they have such a thing as {

Methods of Feeding Meat.

1t is universally conceded among poul.
try raisers in our country that a supply OF
meat is an absolute necessity to laying
hens, says writer in the New England
Farmer, but as to methods of meeting
this need diversities of opinion arc nu.
merous. But not to expatiate upon the
different modes in which meat is fed to
hens, will briefly state my opinions on
the subject, giving the method which,
in my experience, has proved itself most
satisfactory and profitable.
In the summer, when hens are given
their freedom in roaming about they will
obtain sufficient quantity of insects,
worms, ETC., to supply their want of an
imal food. But in the winter, as they
have no such opportunities, the continu-
alton of their animal diet is dependent
upon the owner. The best method Of
supplying hens with meat diet is to OBJ
tain beef creatures head, which can
be purchased for 10 or 10 cents from any
butcher, and twice or three times week
with an axe, a part should be chopped
up for them. As bone is also neces-
sity to hens, when this head is chopped
up bone and flesh together, hens receive
two very essential elements of their nee
essary diet. After the requisite supply
of meat is chopped off the head should
be allowed to remain in convenient cor.
ner in the hen house, that the fowls may
have an opportunity to pick it over and
devour the particles of bone and meat
which remain, thus affording them con.
| siderable exercise.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Rourhness and Bran as a Resour

Roughness and Bran as n Resource.
Mr.. j. NJ. True, referred to as a most
experienced agriculturist of Sank county,
Wis, being rather heavily stocked with
fine cattle and horses, and short of hay
on account of drouth. adopted n course
Of grain feeding with ''roughness,
which he thus refers to in the Western
Farmer, and bases upon the encouraging
experience bit of good advice to Others
similarly situated:
81 bought heavily of wheat bran, cut
and stored all my corn fodder, put my
straw where 1t could not be trampled
under foot, and, with the full knowledge
of the necessity of economy, commenced
the winter. My stock never was in better
shape in the spring than last. My colts
had grown finely. My brood mares
dropped strong vigorous colts. and my
cattle were in fine condition. l thought
had made a discovery; hence, in the
present emergency, l advise-if you have
good stock, such as it pays TO keep at
all-don't sacrifice it, Make the most Of
your crops. Watch the prices of bran
and other mill feeds, and when you can
buy bran for $40 or less per ton, fill up,
storing in a dry, airy place. Plan to
feed more grain feeds and less hay the
coming winter, aud see if you do not
continue the practice, even when plenty
again fills our barns with hay"

Disappointed Mules.

A dispatch from Rapid City says that
q hail-storm passed over there the other
day which killed all the mules in a
wagon-train belonging TO tho North
western Transportation company. This
statement needs little explanation. of
course the hailstones didn't really kill the
mules, but when the first ones struck
them every blessed mule turned around
and kicked himself in two trying TO
reach the cloud. 1t is the first time on
record that mule ever kicked at any
thing he didn't hit.-Ddkotd Bell
